hi,

How can I update my PHP4 on my raq4 to the latest 4.0.5 version?

Thanks

Michael

anyone?

I use this method on all my servers, in 10 mins you'll have 4.0.5 installed.

tar zxvf php4.0.4pl1.tar.gz
cd php-4.0.4pl1
./configure --with-mysql --with-apxs --with-zlib --with-ftp
make
make install
cd /etc/httpd/conf
pico httpd.conf
## change the loadmodule of php4 to:
LoadModule php4_module /usr/lib/apache/libphp4.so
## it could also be duplicate
## save httpd.conf
/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart
## you can check if it runs through:
## telnet localhost 80
## HEAD / HTTP/1.0
## 2x enter
## read the Server: line.

Thanks for your help juan!

How come I need to change the LoadModule PHP4 in the httpd.conf?
Will I be overwriting my old version?
What should I include when I configure? I guess mysql, zlib, safe-mode is a must, any other...?

Thanks

this will work for most common tasks, maybe you can think about ftp, but I 'shouldnt do that.

The path of your php module has changed. Why? I don't know, but it works :)

If you already have php installed in your server and you overwrite the old version you don't need to make any change in the httpd.conf

There are a lot of threads about installing php in this forums, you should check them out, as the instructions still apply.

Juan,

Thanks for the snippet on the PHP upgrade ...

I have some mySQL/PostgreSQL questions (related to your post):

[1] mySQL is supposed to be pre-installed on a RaQ 4i. How does one check to see that is is actualy installed?

[2] If it isn't, should one install mySQL before doing the PHP upgrade? And are there any specific settings during the mySQL installation process to watch out for?

[3] PostgreSQL is used for the control panel - how does one use a 2nd instance of PostgreSQL (i.e. 2nd process) to allow clients to use PostgreSQL for their own sites?

Thanks,

Johan

ps - this forum is great :)

you should install mysql before php. and configure php with --with-mysql
